Tutorial: ISS
From Kerbal Space Program Wiki

Welcome to my first tutorial! Here, we will try to re-enact one of the most important space programs : the International Space Station(ISS/MKC)
All of the designs are based on actual modules and rockets. Of course, I can't do it perfectly, but I am trying my best. Also, I am doing it without any mod parts, but I use MechJeb for autopilot. I will go and add more launches when I'll do them myself.

Proton-K - Russian Launcher
This is a recreation of the Russian rocket Proton 8K82K. I used it for all of the current modules, even if American modules were launched with the Space Shuttle.
